Medical Malpractice, Heart Attacks & Stroke
Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorney
It’s usually a case of egregious medical error when a person comes to my medical malpractice law office —or family members come to me—charging that medical errors led to a heart attack or stroke.
In the classic case, a man or woman goes to the doctor’s office or the hospital emergency room with the symptoms of a heart attack. Misdiagnosis leads to these people being sent home, only to suffer a crippling or deadly acute myocardial infarction (AMI) later in the day.
As a medical malpractice lawyer, I’ve seen impending heart attacks misdiagnosed as indigestion. Sometimes you can do everything right and go to the nearest emergency room or see your doctor when you are experiencing chest pain, just like the public service commercials advise, but the doctor misses the signs that a heart attack is imminent.
Heart attack and stroke can also be caused by medical mistreatment. I have represented clients whose heart attacks were brought on by improper medication, treatment errors, or failure to diagnose underlying medical conditions that then contributed to heart attack or stroke. I represented the family of a woman who had a heart attack during a surgery for which she should not have been cleared.
If you are looking for a dedicated and experienced medical malpractice attorney to prove your heart attack or stroke, and its resulting damage, was caused by medical negligence, contact my office. I have secured financial settlements in 95% of the cases I’ve handled since opening my solo law practice in 1997. I am very selective in the cases I take. If I accept your medical malpractice case, you can be assured that I will give it my full attention.
Settlement: $750,000
My client was a woman who suffered permanent brain injury and now requires kidney dialysis. Her HMO physicians failed to treat her dangerously high blood pressure and ignored the signs of impending kidney failure. These treatment failures led to a stroke brought on by uremic poisoning.
Settlement: $2.75 million
My client was a woman in her 50s who suffered a heart attack and brain injury due to a medication error. The hospital, doctors and nurses did not monitor her progress after surgery and did not provide prompt treatment when she began suffering respiratory distress.
